Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) focuses on promoting Veteran health and well-being by decreasing the effects of chronic illness. This program is one way the VHA is making health care at each facility more Veteran-centered and includes these "9 Healthy Living Messages:"

Be Involved in Your Healthcare

Be Safe

Manage Stress

Eat Wisely

Strive for a Healthy Weight

Be Physically Active

Limit Alcohol

Get Recommended Screening Tests and Immunizations

Be Tobacco Free

These are simple ways that support self-management. Approaches to improved prevention strategies and wellness are the basis for Primary Care Clinics and the eight Community Based Clinics (CBOCs) throughout Arkansas. It supports Veterans in taking care of their health by finding out what is most important to the individual.

Our outreach program for Veterans around the state includes a CAVHS Community Resource guide with internal and external resources to help you stay well. Monthly messages are highlighted in the facilities, clinics and on our web site to help you be more involved in managing your health and well-being.

Ask your Healthcare Team about Patient Aligned Care Teams(PACT) and how YOU are the center of your healthcare provided at CAVHS. We are proud to serve our Veterans and want to provide you with tools to keep you well. You have served; now, please let us serve YOU by partnering for health!
